Dear Sir,

We have made a new TDS payment using Challan Code 1026 for Professional Fees deducted at 2%.

However, the current payment pertains to Royalty under Section 194J, where TDS has been deducted at 10%. We noticed that the challan is showing Code 1027.

Kindly confirm whether Challan Code 1027 is correct for this payment or if any correction is required.

Thank you

A TAX PAYER RECEIVED ADVANCE AGAINST SALE OF PROPERTY. THE BUYER DEDUCTED TDS THEREON. NOW DUE TO DISPUTE, THE SELLER IS REQUIRED TO REFUND THE NET AMOUNT PLUS TDS DEDUCTED. IS THERE ANY LIABILITY FOR THE SELLER TO DEDUCT TAX ON THIS REFUND AMOUNT?

I have received a lower deduction certificate under Section 197 of Income Tax Act specifying a TDS rate of 0.31%. The total sale consideration is ₹90 lakhs.

I’m confused about how to apply this rate:

Should I deduct TDS at the flat rate of 0.31% as mentioned in the certificate, or
Do I need to add surcharge and cess separately over and above this rate?

Also, one person suggested a split approach:

₹1 lakh already paid (ADVANCE) to be taxed at 12.5% + surcharge + cess, and
The remaining ₹89 lakhs at 0.31% + surcharge + cess

However, my understanding is that the rate mentioned in the certificate should be applied directly, without adding anything extra, as per Section 197.

Can someone please clarify the correct method and help compute the exact TDS amount?

Sir,
I took an advance of 25 lakh against sale of flat in FA 25 - 26. I used the amount to pay advance to buy a property in Same FA 25 -26. However sale of my flat is scheduled in current financial year.
Is there a tax implication and do I need to show in ITR.
Thanks!

Builder has reduced the Total Consideration Value of the flat suddenly after some adjustment for GST. I have already paid FIVE instalment and deposited the TDS quoting old hire value in FORM 26QB.
